The reactive functional groups that it is advisable, if appropriate, to protect are the carboxylic acid, amine, amide, hydroxyl and hydroxylamine functional groups.
The protection of the acid functional group is carried out, in particular, by forming alkyl esters, allyl esters or benzyl, benzhydryl or p-nitrobenzyl esters.
The deprotection is carried out by saponification, acid hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis or, alternatively, cleavage using soluble palladium(0) complexes.
The protection of the amines, heterocyclic nitrogens and amides is carried out, in particular, according to the circumstances, by forming benzyl or trityl derivatives, carbamates, in particular allyl, benzyl, phenyl or tert-butyl carbamates, or, alternatively, silyl derivatives, such as (tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl, trimethylsilyl, triphenylsilyl or diphenyl(tert-butyl)silyl derivatives, or phenylsulfonylalkyl or cyanoalkyl derivatives.
The deprotection is carried out, depending on the nature of the protective group, by sodium or lithium in liquid ammonia, by hydrogenolysis or using soluble palladium(0) complexes, by the action of an acid, or by the action of tetrabutylammonium fluoride or of strong bases, such as sodium hydride or potassium t-butoxide.

The phosphatation reaction is carried out, for example, by the action of a chlorophosphate, such as dimethyl, dibenzyl or diphenyl chlorophosphate.
The amidation reaction is carried out starting from the carboxylic acid using an activating agent, such as an alkyl chloroformate, EDCI (1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride) or BOP (benzotriazol-1-yloxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate), by the action of ammonia or an appropriate amine or an acid salt thereof.

In the case of a carboxyl functional group, the salification is carried out by addition of an appropriate base, such as those mentioned above. In the case of a sulfooxy functional group or functional group derived from phosphoric acid, the pyridinium salt is obtained directly during the action of the SO3-pyridine complex and the other salts are obtained from this pyridinium salt. In either case, it is alternatively possible to operate by exchange of ions on a resin.
The nitration can be carried out by nitric acid or one of its metal salts in an acidic medium.
The reduction of a nitro group can be carried out by sodium dithionite or alternatively by zinc in acetic acid.
The term “halogenation” is understood to mean the introduction of a halogen substituent by the direct halogenation of the aromatic ring or by transformation of an aromatic hydroxy group to a halogen. According to the circumstances, the reaction can, for example, be carried out by the action of iodine or in the presence of triphenylphosphine, by the action of bromine in acetic acid or alternatively of iodine in the presence of C6H5I(OCOCF3)2, or, alternatively, by reaction of an electrophilic halogenated reagent, such as N-fluorosulfonylimide, in the presence of a strong base. Such reagents are known to a person skilled in the art.
The carbamoylation reaction can be carried out by the use of a chloroformate and then of an amine or, if appropriate, of ammonia.
The introduction of cyano is carried out by nucleophilic substitution using an alkaline cyanide or cyanogen bromide.
The separation of the enantiomers can be carried out according to techniques known to a person skilled in the art, in particular, by chromatography.
In addition to the processes described above, compounds of formula (I) can, of course, be obtained by methods that use, at the start, a compound of formula (II) in which R′1, R2 and R′3 have the values which result directly (without conversion) in those of the compounds which it is desired to prepare. If appropriate, those of these values which would include reactive functional groups such as mentioned above are then protected, the deprotection taking place on conclusion of the cyclization stage b) or at any other opportune moment in the synthesis. The protection and deprotection are carried out as described above.
The invention also provides a process according to the above, but wherein the compound of formula (II) is obtained by a process according to which a compound of formula (IV):
##STR00007##
in which R′1, R2 and n are as defined above and A is hydrogen or a protective group for the nitrogen, is treated with a reducing agent, to obtain a compound of formula (V):
##STR00008##
in which A, R′1, R2 and n are as defined above, and in which process, if appropriate, the OH group is replaced by a leaving group, to obtain a compound of formula (VI):
##STR00009##
in which A, R′1, R2 and n are as defined above mentioned meaning and B represents a leaving group, which compound of formula VI is then treated with a compound of formula NH2—OR′3, R′3 being as defined above, and then, if appropriate, with an appropriate deprotecting agent for the nitrogen atom.
The invention further provides a process according to the above, but wherein the compound of formula (II) is obtained by a process according to which a compound of formula (IV) as defined above is treated with a compound of formula H2N—OR′3, to obtain a compound of formula (VII):
##STR00010##
in which A, R′1, R2, n and R′3 are as defined above, which compound of formula VII is then reacted with a reducing agent, to obtain a compound of formula (VIII):
##STR00011##
in which A, R′1, R2, n and R′3 are as defined above, which compound of formula VIII is then treated, if appropriate, with an appropriate deprotecting agent for the nitrogen atom.
The protective group for the nitrogen is preferably one of those which are mentioned above.
The reducing agent is preferably an alkaline borohydride.
The leaving group is preferably a sulfonate, for example, a mesylate or a tosylate, obtained by the action of the corresponding sulfonyl chloride in the presence of a base, or a halide, more particularly, a chloride, a bromide or an iodide, obtained, for example, by the action of thionyl chloride or of P(C6H5)3/CBr4 or PBr3 or, in the case of an iodide, by the action of an alkaline iodide on a sulfonate.
The deprotecting agent is preferably one of those mentioned above.
The reducing agent which acts on the compound of formula (VII) is preferably sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium acetoxyborohydride.
The compounds of general formula (I) have good antibiotic activity with regard to gram (+) bacteria, such as staphylococci. Their effectiveness with regard to gram (−) bacteria, in particular with regard to enterobacteria, is particularly significant.
These properties render said products, and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid and base salts, capable of being used as medicaments in the treatment of conditions involving sensitive microorganisms and in particular in that of staphylococcal infections, such as staphylococcal septicemia, malignant staphylococcal infections of the face or skin, pyodermatitis, septic or suppurating wounds, anthrax, abscesses, erysipelas, primary or post-influenza acute staphylococcal infections, bronchopneumonia or pulmonary suppurations.
These products can also be used as medicaments in the treatment of colibacillosis and associated infections, in proteus, klebsiella and salmonella infections and in other conditions brought about by gram (−) bacteria.
The compounds of general formula (I) furthermore possess inhibitory properties for β-lactamases and consequently are of advantage in combating infectious diseases or preventing the latter, in the form of a combination with various antibiotic compounds of β-lactam type, in order to strengthen their effectiveness in combating pathogenic bacteria producing β-lactamases.
It is well known that the enzymatic inactivation of antibiotics of β-lactam type, whether compounds of penicillin or cephalosporin type, in the treatment of bacterial infections, is an obstacle for compounds of this type. This inactivation consists of a process of decomposition of the β-lactams and constitutes one of the mechanisms by which bacteria can become resistant to treatments. It is therefore desirable to succeed in countering this enzymatic process by combining, with the antibacterial agent of β-lactam type, an agent capable of inhibiting the enzyme. When a β-lactamase inhibitor is used in combination with an antibiotic of β-lactam type, it can therefore strengthen its effectiveness against certain microorganisms.
Another subject matter of the present invention is therefore the use of compounds of formula (I) as defined above, and their salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids and bases, and in particular the preferred compounds mentioned above, as medicaments and, in particular, medicaments intended for the treatment of bacterial infections in man or animals and medicaments intended to inhibit the production of β-lactamases by pathogenic bacteria.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of treating an infection or infection-causing condition in a mammal that is due to the presence of bacteria that generate beta-lactamases, which comprises administering to a mammal in need thereof an amount of a compound of claim 1 that is effective to inhibit beta-lactamase in said mammal.
The antibiotics of β-lactam type with which the compounds of formula (I) can be combined can be selected from the group consisting of penams, penems, carbapenems, cephems, carbacephems, oxacephems, cephamycins and monobactams.
The term “β-lactams” is understood to mean, for example, penicillins, such as amoxicillin, ampicillin, azlocillin, mezlocillin, apalcillin, hetacillin, bacampicillin, carbenicillin, sulbenicillin, ticarcillin, piperacillin, mecillinam, pivmecillinam, methicillin, ciclacillin, talampicillin, aspoxicillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, flucloxacillin, nafcillin or pivampicillin, cephalosporins, such as cephalothin, cephaloridine, cefaclor, cefadroxil, cefamandole, cefazolin, cephalexin, cephradine, ceftizoxime, cefoxitin, cephacetrile, cefotiam, cefotaxime, cefsulodin, cefoperazone, ceftizoxime, cefmenoxime, cefmetazole, cephaloglycin, cefonicid, cefodizime, cefpirome, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefpiramide, cefbuperazone, cefozopran, cefepime, cefoselis, cefluprenam, cefuzonam, cefpimizole, cefclidin, cefixime, ceftibuten, cefdinir, cefpodoxime axetil, cefpodoxime proxetil, cefteram pivoxil, cefetamet pivoxil, cefcapene pivoxil or cefditorenpivoxil, cefuroxime, cefuroxime axetil, loracarbacef or latamoxef, carbapenems, such as imipenem, meropenem, biapenem or panipenem, and monobactams, such as aztreonam and carumonam, and their salts.
The compounds of formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be administered at the same time as antibiotics of β-lactam type are taken, or separately, preferably after antibiotics of β-lactam type have been taken. This can be carried out in the form of a mixture of the two active principles or in the form of a pharmaceutical combination of the two separate active principles.
The dosage of the compounds of formula (I) and of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can, of course, vary within wide limits and should naturally be adapted, in each specific case, to the individual conditions and to the pathogenic agent to be combated. Generally, for use in the treatment of bacterial infections, the daily dose can be between 0.250 g and 10 g per day, orally in man, with the product described in Example 11, or between 0.25 g and 10 g per day, intramuscularly or intravenously. For use as β-lactamase inhibitor, a daily dose in man which can range from 0.1 to approximately 10 g may be suitable.
Furthermore, the ratio of the β-lactamase inhibitor of formula (I) or of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the latter to the antibiotic of β-lactam type can also vary within wide limits and should be adapted, in each specific case, to the individual conditions. Generally, a ratio ranging from approximately 1:20 to approximately 1:1 should be employed.
The antibiotic medicaments or β-lactamase inhibitor medicaments as defined above are employed in the form of pharmaceutical compositions as a mixture with an organic or inorganic, inert pharmaceutical excipient adapted to the desired method of administration, and the present invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising, as active principle, at least one of the compounds of the invention as defined above.
These compositions can be administered buccally, rectally, parenterally, in particular, intramuscularly, or locally by topical application to the skin and mucous membranes.
These compositions can be solid or liquid and are provided in the pharmaceutical forms commonly used in human medicine, such as, for example, simple or sugar-coated tablets, hard gelatin capsules, granules, suppositories, injectable preparations, ointments, creams or gels; they are prepared according to conventional methods. The active principle or principles can be incorporated therein with excipients commonly employed in such pharmaceutical compositions, such as talc, gum arabic, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, cocoa butter, aqueous or nonaqueous vehicles, fatty substances of animal or vegetable origin, paraffin derivatives, glycols, various wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents, and preservatives.
These compositions can also be provided in the form of a lyophilisate that is intended to be dissolved at the time of use in an appropriate vehicle, for example sterile apyrogenic water.
The products of formula (I) can also be used as disinfecting agents for surgical instruments.
The invention also provides, as novel intermediate compounds:
These novel industrial products are intermediates especially useful for the preparation of the products of formula (I).
The products of formula (IV) can be prepared, for example, according to methods provided hereinafter in the experimental part.

I/In vitro Antibacterial Activity, Method of Dilutions in Liquid Medium
A series of tubes is prepared, the same amount of sterile nutrient medium being distributed in the tubes. Increasing amounts of the test product are distributed in each tube and then each tube is inoculated with a bacterial strain. After incubating for twenty-four hours in an oven at 37° C., inhibition of growth is assessed by transillumination, which makes it possible to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (M.I.C.), expressed in μg/ml.
Tests are thus carried out with the products of Examples 11, 14 and 28.
These compounds have the activities combined in the following table:
MIC, μg/ml, at 24 hours
Gram-positive
S. aureus SG511
80-160
S. pyogenes A561
40-160
Gram-negative
E. coli UC1894
20-80
E. coli 1507E
20-160
E. coli DC2
20-80
E. cloacae 1321E
40-80
The compounds according to the invention thus show an antibacterial activity.
II/Inhibitory Activity for β-Lactamases
The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts exhibit marked inhibitory activities against β-lactamases of various bacterial strains and these therapeutically advantageous properties can be determined in vitro with regard to isolated β-lactamases:
A. Preparation of the β-Lactamases Tem-1 and P99
The β-lactamases are isolated from bacterial strains resistant to penicillins and to cephalosporins (Tem1 and P99 are produced respectively by E. coli 250HT21 and E. Cloacae 293HT6).
The bacteria are cultured in 37 g/l brain-heart broth (DIFCO) at 37° C. They are harvested in the exponential phase, cooled and centrifuged. The bacterial pellets are taken up in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, and are again centrifuged. The bacteria are taken up in two volumes of the same buffer and lyzed using a French press maintained at 4° C. After centrifuging for 1 h at 100 000 g at 4° C., the supernatants comprising the soluble fraction of the bacterial extracts are recovered and frozen at −80° C.
B. Determination of the β-Lactamase Activity
The method uses nitrocefin (Oxoid), a chromogenic cephalosporin, the product of hydrolysis by β-lactamases of which is red and absorbed at 485 nm, as substrate. The β-lactamase activity is determined kinetically by the measurement, on a plate spectrophotometer (Spectra Max Plus from Molecular Devices), of the variation in absorbance at 485 nm resulting from the hydrolysis of the substrate. The experiments are carried out at 37° C. The amount of enzyme was standardized and the measurements are carried out at the initial rate.
C. Determination of the Inhibitory Activity for β-Lactamases
Two measurements are carried out, without preincubation and with preincubation of the enzyme and of the inhibitor (5 min), in order to test the irreversibility of the reaction. The products are tested at 6 or 8 concentrations in duplicate. The reaction mixture comprises 100 μM nitrocefin and 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0.
D. Calculations of the IC50 Values
The rates of hydrolysis are measured with and without inhibitor. The concentration of inhibitor which inhibits by 50% the reaction for the hydrolysis of nitrocefin by the enzyme is determined (IC50). The processing of the data is carried out using GraFit software (Erathycus Software).
